We are considering getting a tutor for my 7 year old son. Due to go into Year 3 in September. His teacher says he is average in Maths and English with Maths being the favoured subject. I know 7 is quite young for a tutor some would say, but I feel he needs some extra help with writing and comprehension just to help him keep up with school. He dislikes English and writing in general, he is more hands on which is fine.
Are there any positive stories out there of children who had a tutor at a young age? Did you find it overall helped with their interest in learning as they could keep up more in class? Son is in a good state school but could do with more one on one interaction. We of course also do extra learning at home.
